About

Thanks for checking out MVictors. This site is a University of Michigan sports blog with a focus on football. I started writing and posting about Michigan football on another site in 2001 and launched the Michigan football content on MVictors during the 2006 season. This site is not affiliated in any way with the University of Michigan or any club or group associated with the school.

Greg Dooley runs the site and I’m a Michigan graduate, football and hockey season ticket holder, Victors Club member, lifetime Alumni Club member. Yes, I’ve kissed a girl. No, I don’t live in my mom’s basement although that doesn’t sound too bad.

I try to do a few things with this site:

I explore Michigan athletics history and cover this topic often via the eBay Watch series. This is probably the most widely read regular feature.
This site doesn’t break down game film of the direct game action. While I’ll offer my takes on what I see on the field, my focus is on exploring the rich culture that has developed around Michigan athletics.
Finally, on occasion I’ll interview interesting folks around the program including writers, radio show hosts, former players and more.

Elsewhere: You can check out the full list here, but I’ve had multiple pieces in the Ann Arbor Observer, the Saline Reporter, appear monthly in GoBlueWolverine Magazine, and I’ve had pieces in the last three editions of Brian Cook’s Hail to the Victors. I’ve also made several trips to the WTKA studios for various shows.

Guest Columnists: I’ve published the talents of a few guest columnists from around the country. If you are interested in publishing something with a unique perspective on a Michigan related topic, send it along.

Want to Support MVictors?: That’s easy, email me with feedback, comment on posts, submit guest columns, visit my sponsors and most importantly, support a charity that I highlight.

Guidelines: Not too many, although I try to keep the content of this site related to Michigan athletics, not politics or what have you. And I try to keep this site free of f-bombs and strong language in general. I blog when I feel like it, I won’t publish my blogging schedule. This is a hobby so often posts are done quickly, published, then edited later when I have a chance. I will link or hat-tip (HT:) to you or your site if you give me information that I use, or I read it on your site first. I expect the same vice versa.

I do occasionally break “news” but that’s not the focus of this site. If I talk about a rumor it’ll be properly identified as such.

Ads, Revenue, etc: It’s a hobby. I do use MVictors.com as a frequent sponsor to a few charitable events, primarily for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). The advertisers on this site cover hosting expenses and help supplement the charitable sponsorships.

Photos: If you’d like to use an original photo on this site, please link to the page where you got it. If I post a photo I took, it’s fair game to reuse it—I just appreciate the link back/hat tip to my site.
